You need a 70-200 2.8 for serious sports work in low light.

Even if the D750 is better, a D610 is still a very good camera. The thing you should think about is if the weight and size of the camera/lens combo you think about is acceptable vs the cameras you ...

...seems more common IMO...

A 40 mm is IMO a boring focal length. It is not wide enough to be practical as an allround lens like a 35 is. It has to much WA distortion to be suited for the people shots a 50 mm is good at. It ...

Surely you think more about your exposure. You read the light and judge how much contrast there is, how much you need to compensate etc. Of course there is a tremendous practical value of an EVF if...

I reminds me of shooting with a film camera. You have to trust you skills more, so you get more engaged and concentrated on every shot. You think deeper about what you do, so the experience is more...

Good article. That minimalistic Leica feels surprisingly much like a breath of fresh air – the most attractive yet of their digital models.

It makes you think a lot more about your exposure and dynamic range. You develop a skill and and eye for the light.

Regarding your question in your opening post it was: "But if we limit it to sports and wildlife fast action focus does the Fuji now hold the crown as literally the best auto focusing camera you can ...

I think video focusing with the new AF-P is reasonably smooth with Nikon DSLRs. But the new Z-cameras are much better by all accounts.

I understod the OP as he was talking about stills. He wrote: ”But if we limit it to sports and wildlife fast action focus does the Fuji now hold the crown as literally the best auto focusing camera ...

I believe that the A9 has top notch AF and it also has an elaborate system for avoiding blackouts and provide a true (not faked) live view. I think that camera put the pressure  on Nikon and Canon ...

But the motorcycle shot posted by Tony Field was with a Nikon D2X from 2005.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/61805950 So far I haven't seen any image posted in this thread that couldn't be ...

Until I see something  that convinces me otherwise I think a Nikon D7500 with a lens like a 70-200 Nikon AFS is better.

Every time a new mirrorless is introduced it claims to have the best AF ever. Just look at old product introductions. Reviewers often dont know much about real life AF-C behaviour in sports or ...

Absolutly. That is his choice. That is also true. The build and focus speed is generally extremely high. The usually spectacular image quality is also a factor. And if you combine this with the ...

He compares his 200 2.8 on m43 to 400 2.8 on FF and lists as advantages for the m43 the size and the deeper DOF. Size: If you dont mind the deep DOF, why compare the m43/200 2.8 to a FF/400 2.8 ...

Yes, 1/200 and 1/250 is to slow. You need 1/500s and up.

A good Nikon DX like the D300S, D7200, D7500 or D500 paired with a 70-200 2.8 AF-S lens is an excellent and very versatile combo for sports that can handle almost any action. I have shot soccer, ...
